What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

FTFY



@shifty` Good tip shifty, didn't even think of the searchablity factor
swear I just copied and pasted from the email, meh

 

Well 154.04 shipped which is better than it was gonna be. Not sure how a 6.46 discount saved me over 20 bucks in shipping but it did lol.
Top hats and LCA alignment cam bolts are on their way

 

Jesus I'm 40 I'm allowed a brain fart from time to time, or at least 3 to 6 daily.

 

You can also just Google "Rock Auto discount code". They are listed on websites like Retail Me Not.

 

CamBolts from RA???
Well.... let me know how the cam bolts fit for you. I'de put a hundy on your not going to be happy.

 

you got the moogs, right? Metal sleeve?

 

Moogs no, I got metal sleeves yes, or at least they were shown with metal sleeves, MovTech I think the brand was called.

 

Mevotech?

 

These days I just search for “expires” and it turns up what I need.

Yikes! Fucking CHEAPOTECH

Scary shit.

 

Doesn't SPC make cam bolts)

 

Any company like Mevotech using the name “supreme” in their branding has an inferiority complex and rightly so because they’re inferior.

 

Yes, plastic sleeves too.

 

Yikes

I may have to revisit mine, but take a look at these measurements.
I was just wingin it and dingin it, not knowing wtf I was doing, and I didn't have the luxury of taking it apart so I could see how it all worked together.
I had to angle grind them out with a Huge sketchy cut disc.
But correct me if I am wrong, the sleeves have to be IN the elongated adjustment slot? If not the arms would ride on the shank of the bolt.
I ended up getting a stick of carbon steel from Grainger and making my own sleeves. Then hand sanded about .02 off the shank of the bolts.
It's probably wrong... I'm going to die.

 

Got my new leafs spring and U bolt flip kit from Archive installed over the weekend. Went pretty smooth and I am so glad it did it, got rid of a rattle and the ride is so much more planted.


I also (bittersweetly) got my camper shell sold. I am picking up my Lone Peak Overland camper in a couple weeks, so it was time. My truck looks so naked now

I did discover that my driver side rear axle is leaking (again ). So need to get that taken care of before my 2k mile road trip.

 

Boys I found it, I found my next engine.

 

I think your sleeves are reversed there. Maybe it's an optical illusion, but the shank on the left bolt looks shorter, and the right sleeve looks shorter. The left LCA arm is shorter, but the sleeve is longer. If you reverse the position of the sleeves only, I think this would be correct.

 

Yes, they do.

 

Started the camper restoration project
Waiting for the rack to come in and I’m laying carpet inside this weekend.

 

Well hot damn you work fast. Here I've been mulling over paint-matching mine for months.

Looks good though, what'd you lay on it, paintwise?

 

I'm not color matching it, I really like the black look on the red truck. I'm not looking for anything too fancy for paint so I'm using good ole Rust oleum Black Gloss paint. The plan with the camper is to mount molle panels along the sides as there aren't any windows for max tracks and jerry cans, then I'm installing a bed rack on top of it with a cage, so hopefully the paint isn't seen that much hahaha.

 

Had to put gas in it. Someone siphoned my gas out last night... I'm just glad they didn't drill my gas tank.

 

Dislike that. Low life scum!

 

WTF...

 

Dang. Where was it parked? Was the gas tank door locked?

 

That's the problem, I ate out last night, ate at a busy restaurant, but parked between 2 cars in a parking lot for a nearby shopping center because the restaurant's parking lot was full. Pretty much no one else was in the parking lot I parked in. I guess someone saw it as an easy opportunity because they could hide between my truck and the car next to it.

My fuel door doesn't lock. My truck is a DC, it doesn't have any provisions to lock the fuel door.

I had just bought gas a few days before, probably had 3/4 a tank left. I just know when I started the truck it was down on E.

 

Sucks man. Went back to full when you added gas?

 

That looks fantastic!

 

I was going to suggest getting a locking door, but honestly may not be worth it. Like you said, they may drill the tank which would suck a lot more.
